She snorted softly, as the two started to nurse. The sweat had dried on her earth-toned coat. "Can I swim now?" she asked, looking at him.

He snorted,"Only if you don't want your foals!" He grinned and threw his head over her withers careful not to bump into the foals'.

She shook her head, and yawned. The foals were finished, and they yawned too. They were perfect, purebred arabians, something not too common in the wild.

He herded them back to the dunes. He would take the family swimming tomarrow. "I'll help you take them swimming tomarrow. Right now get some rest." He stood at the entrance while they entered. He was sleeping and alert but had a back foot cocked too.

She sighed, and lay down. Her two foals piled together aginst the wall, falling asleep together. She watched Shaton, Flicking one ear.

He felt her gaze and he turned around and whispered,"Do you need anything?"

She lifted her head, and shook it gently, but continued to gaze at him. "Come lay down.' she said softly.

He grinned,he trotted over and layed gently down next to her.

She leaned on him, laying her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes, and uttering a content sigh.

His tenseness whent away,this was the first time Lucky had shown affection towards him.

A small smile tugged at her lip, and she soon fell into a light doze.

(wake her when you want.)
